Evidently if you price condos at $550 a foot in prime Williamsburg they will sell. That’s the lesson from last week’s open house at Warehouse 11, the 120-unit, Karl Fischer-designed condo that’s staging a remarkable turnaround. Earlier this month, aptsandlofts.com relaunched the building’s sales process by slashing average asking prices from over $700 a foot to the mid-$500s (with some as low as $450). Last night was the first time buyers could step up, and step up they did. According to a NY Post article today, 34 offers at full asking price were accepted last night (while another 20 or so below asking price were rejected); thirty people were lined up ahead of time to get in the door first. Don’t get too excited though—at some unknown milestone, prices are going to be raised again.
